It was an awesome first day of the fair. Yeah... I'm tired already. I was up at 5:30 this morning because Johnna would not turn her alarm clock off. I had to yell at her. It was ok because I had to be up. I got up and dressed and went downstairs to meet Tim. He was going to help me wash my dairy steer, but I first had to help him walk his llama. It was pretty cool because it was foggy outside. Then we walked down to my steer, who was at the tie out. Tim and I walked my steer back up to the annex and fed him. After breakfast I got in line to get my steer weighed. He weighed 1350 pounds. I was happy. After weighing in my steer, I went to my beef interview. I tried hard but I didn't get into the top 20%.


Afterward, I hung out with Tim and then some girls from my county. After lunch, Tim and I (finally) got to washing my steer. He was so much help. I would have never gotten it done without him. (Thank you Tim)



Then I went back up to the 4-H building with Tim in the rain. We got wet. I was so happy to take a hot shower and get into clean clothes. I talked with Anna Wagner and the girls going to East Cliff. They looked very good. Anna and I said good-bye to them and then she helped me practice for my livestock demonstration. I was very nervous. It was on how to make a bottle for a dairy calf.



At 4:00, Anna and I went down to the barns to check on our animals. I went to the place where I was supposed to do my demo. Luckily, I found out that it wasn't there anymore. Eventually it all got figured out and I recieved a red on it. I was dissapointed, but I didn't have posters to go with my demo.



We headed up to the 4-H building after my demo. On the way we stopped and checked on the Anna's rabbit.
